dummy: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls
[ Upstream commit 16b0dc29c1af9df341428f4c49ada4f626258082 ] Trying to "modprobe dummy numdummies=30000" triggers : INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 8} (t=60000 jiffies) After this splat, RTNL is locked and reboot is needed. We must call cond_resched() to avoid this, even holding RTNL. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
